[quote]With my limited Knowledge of Eurovision, since 2003, we have had barely any points and the songs have in a word been crap.

I believe Jessica Garlick came 2nd in 2002 and yes in the years that JK was helping choose the entry, I did think that Love City Groove, Gina G, Katrina and Imanni were good songs.

I do think their is a lot of bias voting especially in the Balkan countries, however, I do think that if we produced a good song we would do a lot better.

I also think that we haven't been a popular country amongst Europeans for years, so I guess the only way to test the theory is to put a decent entry in and see how the voting goes as I am not wholly convinced that it's all done to bias voting.[/quote]
Valid points there, Mike, but I don't agree with any allegations of bias.

Thirteen different countries have won the last thirteen contests, including the UK. One of the things I love about the contest is that ANY country can win. You just need a great song, or at least the right type of song to persuade people to pick up their phones and vote. This has hardly occurred in the UK since the JK era.[/quote]

GinaGinaDiscoCleaner	I'm not a JK fan or supporter but he made such a difference to Eurovision. I remember in my teens it was all awful Samantha janus and micheal ball rubbish for the over 80s. Then JK came with love city groove (great!) and gina g (even better) and won the lot with katrina and waves and suddenly eurovision was winning and cool and hits and young and fabulous. the last 7-8 years have been so dire you feel nobody with any ears has been choosing our entries. why not bring JK back? he's done his time and paid the price. i bet hed pick a winner again or at least a hit.
